Tianci and others drove the carriage, all the way smoothly, exempted from a lot of hardships of the journey, everyone's interest rose greatly, stopped and stopped along the way, while touring the mountains and rivers, while visiting the famous temple, worshipping the ancient temple, made a lot of Taoist friends and knights, and benefited a lot.

On the way to Hanqingzhou, an important city in the central region, there were gradually more pedestrians along the way, and there were many people with their families, carrying large and small packages and luggage, not like ordinary tourists.

On a big rock on the side of the road, there were two people who looked like mothers and sons, one old and one young, resting, both of them wrapped in white cloth on their heads and wearing filial piety clothes. The woman was in her thirties, holding her child less than ten years old, and both mother and son were weeping and sad.

Tianci asked Yoko to stop the carriage and asked Chixia to come forward and ask why the mother and son were crying here.

Chixia went to ask the mother and son who also wanted to go to Hanqingzhou, so she took the two of them to the car and took them together. The mother and son were grateful, and thanked everyone again and again.

Zuo Dian first asked the woman: "Sister-in-law, seeing the two of you dressed like this, it must be someone in the family who has passed away, please mourn by the way, take care of yourself." ”

When the woman heard this, she couldn't help crying again, and she tried to restrain herself before she replied with a crying voice: "The slave family was originally a person from Hetun in the Northern Regions, because the northern barbarians broke through the city, killed innocents indiscriminately, and killed several members of the slave family, only the slave family and the young son were able to escape, so they had to go to the Central Plains to find their mother's uncle's family to ask for some life. ”

"It's also my family's mouth, many others withdrew from the city in advance before the war, but he said that it didn't matter, saying that it had been in the Northern Regions for so long, and the Yuwen family army had already suppressed the prestige of Tufan Kingdom, and they couldn't make any big waves. As a result, our family did not leave until the city fell. ”

"What did the Tufan soldiers do when they entered the city?" asked Chixia with concern.

"What are you doing, killing people, setting fires, insulting women, doing all kinds of evil, and losing your conscience!" said the woman, gritting her teeth, "They killed all the officers and soldiers of the court in official uniforms, and the strong men were taken to work as coolies, and the young and beautiful women were ruined." The eldest of my family did not want them to take my husband away, so he reasoned with them, but they were ... On the spot.. Stab to death, my poor son, who has just turned fifteen!" the woman began to weep again.

"My husband saw them... Kill my son, and come to them... Desperately, by them ... Slashed several times, before he died... He also hugged a northern barbarian soldier and threw him into the well. Northern Barbarians... In order to vent his anger, he killed the two elders in the family, and... Still... Insulted ... I should have died as a martyr, but for the sake of my poor little son, I endured the humiliation of living in this world... The woman sobbed and continued, "Please, take care of my son for me, I have no shame to live any longer!"

Chixia hurriedly hugged her and pulled her back, "Sister-in-law, don't kill yourself, if you die, who will raise your son, and who will repay this hatred in the future." ”

Everyone also vied with each other to comfort her, and finally the woman was quiet. Tianci had already heard it on the side, and everyone was full of hatred, all of them hated the Tufan soldiers so much that they couldn't wait to eat them alive to relieve their anger.

Everyone drove into the city of Hanqingzhou, and after finding an inn and settling down, they accompanied the woman to find her uncle's house.

finally found out the address of her maternal uncle's house, which was a small family in an alley in the northeast of the city, so she took the mother and son to recognize their relatives.

After the door was opened, it was the woman's aunt who opened the door, and the two of them couldn't help but cry when they saw each other, and when they heard the movement, the whole family came out of the house, and invited everyone in.

After entering the house and sitting down, after listening to the woman talk about the causes and consequences of coming to run, everyone sighed again.

"Some time ago, I also heard that the imperial court recovered the cities of the Northern Regions, and they were singing praises everywhere, and in the blink of an eye, the Northern Regions were invaded by the Northern Barbarians. Uncle said angrily.

"You mean that the king of the Northern Regions, the eldest son of the Yuwen family, didn't you say that he had been colluding with Tufan?"

"There is such a saying, but after all, the Northern Regions were lost in the hands of the imperial court, and King Yuwen has been stationed in the Northern Regions for decades, and he has not committed any offense with Tufan Guoqiu, and Tufan has never set foot in Middle-earth for half a step. ”

"I heard that the Tufan soldiers are about to hit Jinzhou, and if this continues, my Dafeng Kingdom will not be guaranteed, and we will all become slaves of the country. A young man in his twenties stood up and said very excitedly, it seemed that he was the son of the family. "Now the city's general military office is recruiting, Daddy, I'm going to join the army and avenge my eldest sister's family!"

"What nonsense! What do you know about a child, you don't need to worry about the affairs of the country!" the aunt stepped forward and grabbed the young man, as if she was afraid that he would run away.

"It's none of my business, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, everyone is none of the business, isn't it just waiting for the country to collapse and the family to die. The young man said indignantly.

"Don't argue, let the benefactors see the joke here. "Uncle came out of the round and said.

Everyone casually greeted for a while, then said goodbye, and the group drove to the inn, passing by the front of the General Soldier's Mansion, and saw that it was crowded with people, and a large group of refugees were enthusiastically signing up for the army.

Tianci suddenly called the carriage to stop, he got out of the car, arched his hand to a few senior brothers and said, "Senior brother and sister, you go to the capital to visit the master first, junior brother, I want to go to the front line to see how the war is going, presumably the master is also very concerned about this." With that, he walked to the front of the carriage, untied the red horse, turned over and rode up, "You go first, I will come back from the front line, and I will chase you immediately." ”

When they heard him say this, their mouths opened wide in astonishment. "I'm going with you!" yelled suddenly.

"Brother Tianci, do you really want to go to the battlefield? With your own strength, you can't do anything about the battle situation, let's go to the master together, maybe the master has a heavy responsibility entrusted to us. Zuo Dian said.

"Although my personal strength is small, I am also doing my best as a citizen, and I also led troops when I was in Tongyuan, so I may be able to play a role. I also want to see how powerful this Northern Barbarian Soil is. ”

"Since Tianci has made up his mind, let him go, but you must be careful, your arm is not good yet, pay attention to the rest, you must come back safely, we are waiting for you in the capital." Chixia said, "Yangzi, don't follow the fool, can you bear to leave us alone, we still need you to drive." ”

"Yes, Yoko, your task is to drive safely and get everyone to their destination, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely take you to gallop with you. Tianci said, turned the horse's head, rode away, turned sideways, and said goodbye to everyone, "Take care, see you in the capital!"
